All humans
dissociate.
You know, when you're driving and you succomb to highway
hypnosis? You feel like you are in a
trance and can forget miles you've driven.
Getting lost in a book or a movie and losing a sense of passing time and surroundings is another example, so is
daydreaming.
See
Dissociative Disorders or
Dissociation for problematic dissociation caused by childhood abuse.
